A Passion for Languages
I, Larissa Schneider, set out to start my own business in October 2016, founding the translation agency wordzz in my hometown of Nuremberg, Germany. The agency’s focus on market research draws on my many years of experience and my network of expert linguists in this field. I’ve been working closely with most of the translators for nearly ten years already. After completing my training as a foreign language correspondent, I pursued a degree in translation in London. I’ve spent ten years abroad during my adult life, gaining work experience in the UK and Qatar, besides my professional experience in Germany. The decision to start my own business was inspired by my love of languages, foreign cultures, people, travel and adventure. After completing my translation degree, I dreamed of opening my own agency. However, I first wanted to gain sufficient experience in translation, project management and marketing. Today, this experience allows me to offer targeted, customized solutions to my clients.
We Love What We Do
Honesty, transparency, tailored support and close partnerships—that’s wordzz in a nutshell. We’re proud to play a role in our clients’ success. And if all the new business we get from referrals is anything to go by, our clients love working with us too! Our team has over 30 years of professional experience combined. And our equally experienced linguists always translate into their native tongue—the language in which they feel most comfortable and can perform best. All translators hold degrees in the field of linguistics and have aced our entry test. Our project management team also consists of experienced linguists. We allow room for individual development and encourage our team members to take on new challenges. The strong bond within our team is unparalleled. But we also promote a healthy work-life balance. All colleagues get their birthday off—that is, as long as they promise to bring us any leftover birthday cake! 😉 .
From Nuremberg into the Big Wide World
wordzz is based in the heart of Nuremberg, the birthplace of its founder. Thanks to the city’s numerous academies, it’s a popular place for the next generation of talented linguists to study. But there are also a great many clients in the field of market research situated in and around Nuremberg. Moreover, the city is home to countless creative minds who are eager to network and share ideas. Our clients come from both inside and outside of Germany, primarily through referrals. Most of them have been working with us regularly for many years already. We always endeavor to offer our clients different options, enabling them to pick the most suitable choice for their particular needs. This involves working together as equal partners. And these close relationships are just one more reason why we love what we do 🙂 .
